  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:17.509 --> 00:00:19.578
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:19.578 --> 00:00:21.113
  • What a year it's been for major foreign policy accomplishments.
  • 00:00:21.113 --> 00:00:24.916
  • To fixing the broken economy.
  • 00:00:24.916 --> 00:00:26.651
  • The republican party has used the mandate voters gave them in
  • 00:00:26.651 --> 00:00:29.988
  • Turn, the country in a better direction.
  • 00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:31.790
  • At least they're hoping
  • 00:00:31.790 --> 00:00:33.358
  • Rarely a day passes that either president trump or speaker
  • 00:00:33.358 --> 00:00:36.161
  • Johnson or john thune are not on the air
  • 00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:38.497
  • Explaining how they're solving
  • 00:00:38.497 --> 00:00:39.965
  • The most challenging issues of our time crime, debt,
  • 00:00:39.965 --> 00:00:43.401
  • Taxes, insurance regulations, and a whole lot more.
  • 00:00:43.401 --> 00:00:47.339
  • On top of that, president trump is negotiating
  • 00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:49.741
  • A peace settlement with russia and ukraine.
  • 00:00:49.741 --> 00:00:52.711
  • He's protecting christians
  • 00:00:52.711 --> 00:00:53.812
  • In africa, expanding the peace deal in the middle east,
  • 00:00:53.812 --> 00:00:56.948
  • And taking out the drug runners from venezuela
  • 00:00:56.948 --> 00:00:59.117
  • Who've been making millions of dollars
  • 00:00:59.117 --> 00:01:01.186
  • Off the lives of america's youth.
  • 00:01:01.186 --> 00:01:03.421
  • It's hard to imagine how he keeps it all straight.
  • 00:01:03.421 --> 00:01:06.158
  • So as we head into the new year, we're going to take stock of
  • 00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:08.793
  • What's been done, where we're headed,
  • 00:01:08.793 --> 00:01:10.962
  • And what the two political parties in washington
  • 00:01:10.962 --> 00:01:13.031
  • Are going to try to do to stay in power.
  • 00:01:13.031 --> 00:01:15.200
  • Once the voting begins again next fall.
  • 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.203
  • Well, joining me tonight, one of our regular guest,
  • 00:01:18.203 --> 00:01:20.839
  • The editor in chief of breitbart news
  • 00:01:20.839 --> 00:01:22.908
  • And soon to be a coast to coast radio show host.
  • 00:01:22.908 --> 00:01:26.945
  • Beginning next monday at noon eastern time.
  • 00:01:26.945 --> 00:01:29.881
  • Alex marlow, welcome back to the show.
  • 00:01:29.881 --> 00:01:34.019
  • Great to see you.
  • 00:01:34.452 --> 00:01:35.387
  • Merry christmas to you and happy new year.
  • 00:01:35.387 --> 00:01:36.555
  • We're glad to have you back.
  • 00:01:36.555 --> 00:01:37.522
  • I'm excited about your new side
  • 00:01:37.522 --> 00:01:38.790
  • Hustle, this radio show, the whole new venue.
  • 00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:42.294
  • Yeah. it is.
  • 00:01:42.627 --> 00:01:43.461
  • I've always
  • 00:01:43.461 --> 00:01:44.629
  • Been a lover of talk radio, and i'm taken over a slot
  • 00:01:44.629 --> 00:01:48.099
  • That was last held by my good friend charlie kirk,
  • 00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:50.802
  • Who was a friend to you.
  • 00:01:50.802 --> 00:01:52.304
  • And charlie and i were very close.
  • 00:01:52.304 --> 00:01:53.605
  • You got to start writing for me at breitbart.
  • 00:01:53.605 --> 00:01:55.340
  • And, it's bittersweet
  • 00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:56.808
  • To step into his shoes, but i'm going to do my best
  • 00:01:56.808 --> 00:01:59.377
  • To honor his legacy
  • 00:01:59.377 --> 00:02:00.512
  • On radio stations from noon to one eastern time.
  • 00:02:00.512 --> 00:02:03.882
  • But wherever you get your salem
  • 00:02:03.882 --> 00:02:05.350
  • Stations, you'll be able to get those.
  • 00:02:05.350 --> 00:02:06.985
  • And i'll be doing a lot of additional podcasts as well.
  • 00:02:06.985 --> 00:02:09.054
  • Hopefully you'll join me again.
  • 00:02:09.054 --> 00:02:10.622
  • You joined me in the last year as a big success,
  • 00:02:10.622 --> 00:02:12.457
  • So hopefully a lot more to come. absolutely.
  • 00:02:12.457 --> 00:02:15.227
  • Well, for most people,
  • 00:02:15.227 --> 00:02:16.261
  • Making america safe again, it's right up there
  • 00:02:16.261 --> 00:02:18.129
  • With driving the economy forward.
  • 00:02:18.129 --> 00:02:20.265
  • The borders are closed
  • 00:02:20.265 --> 00:02:21.466
  • And the worst of the criminals who came through
  • 00:02:21.466 --> 00:02:23.335
  • Are being arrested, jailed and often deported.
  • 00:02:23.335 --> 00:02:26.972
  • The illegal drugs are being eliminated from the market.
  • 00:02:26.972 --> 00:02:29.941
  • But if you listen to the democrats and their media
  • 00:02:29.941 --> 00:02:31.876
  • Friends, the president shouldn't be doing any of this.
  • 00:02:31.876 --> 00:02:35.080
  • I want to begin by asking, is that what the democrats
  • 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.482
  • Are going to run on?
  • 00:02:37.482 --> 00:02:38.617
  • That crime is okay,
  • 00:02:38.617 --> 00:02:39.951
  • Drugs are fine, and stealing taxpayer money
  • 00:02:39.951 --> 00:02:42.954
  • As they did by the hundreds of millions in minnesota.
  • 00:02:42.954 --> 00:02:45.824
  • It's all just part of taking care of those in need.
  • 00:02:45.824 --> 00:02:48.760
  • They get headlines, but will they get any votes?
  • 00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:52.764
  • Yeah.
  • 00:02:52.998 --> 00:02:53.798
  • I don't know if they'll get votes
  • 00:02:53.798 --> 00:02:54.566
  • Because they think that
  • 00:02:54.566 --> 00:02:55.800
  • The whole constituency are transgender people,
  • 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.870
  • Criminals and illegal aliens.
  • 00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:00.405
  • And it's just not all of them can vote.
  • 00:03:00.405 --> 00:03:02.407
  • And it's just one of these things
  • 00:03:02.407 --> 00:03:03.608
  • Where that feels like that's where they position the party.
  • 00:03:03.608 --> 00:03:06.511
  • That is their core constituency.
  • 00:03:06.511 --> 00:03:08.680
  • And i have no evidence to suggest
  • 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.283
  • That that's good enough to win elections.
  • 00:03:11.283 --> 00:03:13.918
  • You brought up the border, i'd say pastor at breitbart news.
  • 00:03:13.918 --> 00:03:16.688
  • We've been on the cutting edge of a lot of issues.
  • 00:03:16.688 --> 00:03:18.623
  • And the number one thing was the border and immigration.
  • 00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:21.926
  • I grew up in los angeles, and i saw
  • 00:03:21.926 --> 00:03:23.928
  • That you're not a racist
  • 00:03:23.928 --> 00:03:24.863
  • If you feel like we should have a border.
  • 00:03:24.863 --> 00:03:26.698
  • Illegal immigration ruined my city where i grew up.
  • 00:03:26.698 --> 00:03:29.601
  • I saw this firsthand.
  • 00:03:29.601 --> 00:03:31.202
  • This is not something that is an emotional issue.
  • 00:03:31.202 --> 00:03:33.471
  • It is something that is a purely dollars
  • 00:03:33.471 --> 00:03:35.974
  • And cents up and down, right and wrong sort of issue.
  • 00:03:35.974 --> 00:03:38.743
  • The lawlessness, when it comes to our border,
  • 00:03:38.743 --> 00:03:40.578
  • Permeated throughout the entire democrat party.
  • 00:03:40.578 --> 00:03:42.881
  • All their talking points, all of their ideals involve
  • 00:03:42.881 --> 00:03:45.950
  • Reducing laws in order
  • 00:03:45.950 --> 00:03:47.619
  • To protect criminals at the expense of the citizens.
  • 00:03:47.619 --> 00:03:49.988
  • And we were way out a limb ten years ago saying,
  • 00:03:49.988 --> 00:03:52.490
  • We need to close the border down.
  • 00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:54.092
  • We need to end illegal immigration.
  • 00:03:54.092 --> 00:03:55.627
  • We need to curtail illegal immigration
  • 00:03:55.627 --> 00:03:57.929
  • To make sure we're not having importing
  • 00:03:57.929 --> 00:03:59.531
  • Too much competition for americans.
  • 00:03:59.531 --> 00:04:01.299
  • And now i think people finally understand it.
  • 00:04:01.299 --> 00:04:03.735
  • There's virtually zero crossings.
  • 00:04:03.735 --> 00:04:05.270
  • We've seized half 1 million pounds of drugs in our border.
  • 00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:08.006
  • We're bombing drug boats, which is terrific.
  • 00:04:08.006 --> 00:04:10.442
  • All this is a deep positive for president trump,
  • 00:04:10.442 --> 00:04:12.644
  • And i think the people are going to reward him.
  • 00:04:12.644 --> 00:04:14.612
  • I pray you're right.
  • 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.047
  • I think the values that are underlie
  • 00:04:16.047 --> 00:04:18.350
  • That open border mentality are the same values
  • 00:04:18.350 --> 00:04:21.519
  • That have fueled the the fraud tsunami in minnesota.
  • 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.691
  • You nailed that.
  • 00:04:27.092 --> 00:04:28.193
  • And the lawfare against president trump ahead of time.
  • 00:04:28.193 --> 00:04:29.894
  • It's all a lawless attitude.
  • 00:04:29.894 --> 00:04:31.896
  • The democrats want to protect the criminals
  • 00:04:31.896 --> 00:04:33.531
  • At the expense of the citizens.
  • 00:04:33.531 --> 00:04:34.899
  • They want to use the law to go
  • 00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:36.134
  • After their political opponent and do nothing else.
  • 00:04:36.134 --> 00:04:38.636
  • Because if they throw the book at people,
  • 00:04:38.636 --> 00:04:40.572
  • That's a potential voters.
  • 00:04:40.572 --> 00:04:42.073
  • So they look at it as that's a constituency.
  • 00:04:42.073 --> 00:04:44.209
  • They're trying to court.
  • 00:04:44.209 --> 00:04:45.243
  • And that's why you saw, after all,
  • 00:04:45.243 --> 00:04:46.711
  • The somali fraud came out this week,
  • 00:04:46.711 --> 00:04:48.279
  • Tim wall saying, we want more somalis.
  • 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.215
  • We want more somalis to come into minnesota. why is that?
  • 00:04:50.215 --> 00:04:53.118
  • Because he knows that's a key voting base for him.
  • 00:04:53.118 --> 00:04:55.887
  • So how do we awaken the general population
  • 00:04:56.755 --> 00:04:59.591
  • To the importance of authority and law,
  • 00:04:59.591 --> 00:05:03.461
  • And why those values truly matter?
  • 00:05:03.461 --> 00:05:05.363
  • Because if we lose that, we become anarchist.
  • 00:05:05.363 --> 00:05:08.400
  • I agree, i think it starts with storytelling.
  • 00:05:09.334 --> 00:05:11.436
  • And that's what you do
  • 00:05:11.436 --> 00:05:12.370
  • Is what i do in trying to find examples
  • 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:15.140
  • That bring things to life for people.
  • 00:05:15.140 --> 00:05:16.775
  • I think when you start seeing that some of this latest
  • 00:05:16.775 --> 00:05:19.411
  • Round of somali fraud that's been uncovered,
  • 00:05:19.411 --> 00:05:21.746
  • Where they're showing that
  • 00:05:21.746 --> 00:05:22.814
  • People are taking advantage of programs
  • 00:05:22.814 --> 00:05:24.682
  • Designed to help families with autistic children,
  • 00:05:24.682 --> 00:05:27.318
  • And they're stealing that money to use it for themselves.
  • 00:05:27.318 --> 00:05:30.622
  • It's a very powerful story to tell.
  • 00:05:30.622 --> 00:05:32.023
  • When you have
  • 00:05:32.023 --> 00:05:32.590
  • Some of these signs
  • 00:05:32.590 --> 00:05:33.758
  • That are these tax dollars going to a learning center,
  • 00:05:33.758 --> 00:05:36.561
  • And the word learning is misspelled and it is learing,
  • 00:05:36.561 --> 00:05:40.031
  • This is very powerful.
  • 00:05:40.031 --> 00:05:40.932
  • So we get to tell all those stories
  • 00:05:40.932 --> 00:05:42.634
  • And to highlight
  • 00:05:42.634 --> 00:05:43.601
  • Some of the people and some of the families
  • 00:05:43.601 --> 00:05:45.036
  • Who are victims of illegal alien crime,
  • 00:05:45.036 --> 00:05:46.738
  • Who are getting bilked by the fraudsters,
  • 00:05:46.738 --> 00:05:49.007
  • Telling those, i think that's step one.
  • 00:05:49.007 --> 00:05:51.142
  • And then i think
  • 00:05:51.142 --> 00:05:52.210
  • If you people in your life who are on the left who
  • 00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:54.179
  • Don't understand these things, make them defend it.
  • 00:05:54.179 --> 00:05:56.648
  • Why do you think this is okay?
  • 00:05:56.648 --> 00:05:58.082
  • How do you think the system got so corrupt?
  • 00:05:58.082 --> 00:05:59.751
  • Do you think that it's.
  • 00:05:59.751 --> 00:06:01.486
  • You think it's appropriate for a supposedly melting pot?
  • 00:06:01.486 --> 00:06:04.556
  • Is diversity really our strength?
  • 00:06:04.556 --> 00:06:06.191
  • If we're importing whole cultures of people
  • 00:06:06.191 --> 00:06:08.359
  • That are just balkanized, living amongst themselves
  • 00:06:08.359 --> 00:06:10.762
  • And trying to rip off the taxpayers,
  • 00:06:10.762 --> 00:06:12.430
  • These are pretty fundamental points
  • 00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:13.932
  • That i think resonate with common sense americans.
  • 00:06:13.932 --> 00:06:16.334
  • Absolutely. you mentioned the border.
  • 00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:18.636
  • You know, a lot of progress has been made,
  • 00:06:18.636 --> 00:06:20.305
  • But there are federal estimates
  • 00:06:20.305 --> 00:06:21.506
  • That as many as 18,000 people here in the u.s.
  • 00:06:21.506 --> 00:06:24.909
  • Are either terrorist or connected with terrorist groups.
  • 00:06:24.909 --> 00:06:28.146
  • That's roughly 350 in each of our states.
  • 00:06:28.146 --> 00:06:31.149
  • Is it going to take another nine
  • 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:32.150
  • Over 11 for us to see the light on this threat,
  • 00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:35.186
  • Or are we just going to continue to whistle along in the dark?
  • 00:06:35.186 --> 00:06:38.256
  • I hate to say it, but it might.
  • 00:06:38.256 --> 00:06:39.858
  • I've been saying this again for a decade,
  • 00:06:39.858 --> 00:06:41.693
  • And or more, that you can't
  • 00:06:41.693 --> 00:06:43.661
  • Have an open border and not think the world,
  • 00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:45.663
  • The worst people in the world
  • 00:06:45.663 --> 00:06:48.066
  • Are going to try to take advantage of it.
  • 00:06:48.066 --> 00:06:49.734
  • They already are.
  • 00:06:49.734 --> 00:06:50.502
  • Think about fentanyl.
  • 00:06:50.502 --> 00:06:51.536
  • Fentanyl is essentially like 39 elevens a year.
  • 00:06:51.536 --> 00:06:54.806
  • It's the 100,000 americans are dying of fentanyl
  • 00:06:54.806 --> 00:06:57.709
  • Every single year.
  • 00:06:57.709 --> 00:06:58.910
  • And when president trump wants to bomb
  • 00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:00.545
  • Some drug boats with the fentanyl on them,
  • 00:07:00.545 --> 00:07:02.680
  • The media comes up with every excuse to make trump
  • 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.449
  • The bad guy. that's completely insane to me.
  • 00:07:04.449 --> 00:07:06.751
  • And it makes you think that there's
  • 00:07:06.751 --> 00:07:08.019
  • A lot of people in this country who will never learn.
  • 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:09.954
  • But of course, an open border just means
  • 00:07:09.954 --> 00:07:12.257
  • The worst actors on earth are going to take advantage.
  • 00:07:12.257 --> 00:07:14.325
  • And that includes people who are extremely violent.
  • 00:07:14.325 --> 00:07:16.995
  • Well, let's turn to the economy for a moment.
  • 00:07:17.929 --> 00:07:19.697
  • The gdp is showing strong underlying growth.
  • 00:07:19.697 --> 00:07:22.066
  • Jobs are holding steady
  • 00:07:22.066 --> 00:07:23.735
  • Since everything in the country
  • 00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:24.869
  • Is eventually delivered by a truck.
  • 00:07:24.869 --> 00:07:27.171
  • Gas prices are even coming down.
  • 00:07:27.171 --> 00:07:28.907
  • It's going to get cheaper to buy a lot of things.
  • 00:07:28.907 --> 00:07:31.576
  • But the so-called affordability problem,
  • 00:07:31.576 --> 00:07:33.611
  • It actually began years ago
  • 00:07:33.611 --> 00:07:35.446
  • When the supply chain was disrupted.
  • 00:07:35.446 --> 00:07:37.815
  • But even with those headwinds, the president has cut
  • 00:07:37.815 --> 00:07:39.751
  • Regulations that used to tie up small business in knots.
  • 00:07:39.751 --> 00:07:43.154
  • Listen to how the economist steve moore explains
  • 00:07:43.154 --> 00:07:45.857
  • The impact of what the president has done.
  • 00:07:45.857 --> 00:07:48.860
  • Now regulation is a tax on the economy.
  • 00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:51.629
  • It's a tax on businesses and families.
  • 00:07:51.629 --> 00:07:53.331
  • So think of the savings
  • 00:07:53.331 --> 00:07:55.233
  • Which are in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
  • 00:07:55.233 --> 00:07:58.269
  • And these are things like trump getting
  • 00:07:58.269 --> 00:07:59.837
  • Rid of racial quotas for hiring.
  • 00:07:59.837 --> 00:08:02.140
  • How about the fact that he's
  • 00:08:02.140 --> 00:08:03.107
  • Letting people buy any car they want?
  • 00:08:03.107 --> 00:08:04.842
  • You don't have to buy an electric vehicle.
  • 00:08:04.842 --> 00:08:06.611
  • I think this makes donald trump unquestionably the
  • 00:08:06.611 --> 00:08:10.415
  • Deregulation president.
  • 00:08:10.415 --> 00:08:13.017
  • Do you think
  • 00:08:13.351 --> 00:08:14.586
  • Americans, on the whole, will appreciate what's been done?
  • 00:08:14.586 --> 00:08:16.955
  • Even if certain media tries to put a negative spin on it?
  • 00:08:16.955 --> 00:08:20.692
  • As steve moore on our exact same page on this.
  • 00:08:20.692 --> 00:08:23.227
  • I've been doing a lot of content
  • 00:08:23.227 --> 00:08:24.662
  • Getting interviewed, talking about accomplishments
  • 00:08:24.662 --> 00:08:26.998
  • For this year for president trump.
  • 00:08:26.998 --> 00:08:28.566
  • And i think the advancement, the deregulation agenda is way
  • 00:08:28.566 --> 00:08:31.903
  • Up there.
  • 00:08:31.903 --> 00:08:32.737
  • And things that we don't talk about
  • 00:08:32.737 --> 00:08:33.905
  • That is going to unleash a lot of growth in this country.
  • 00:08:33.905 --> 00:08:36.941
  • We also have some more tax cuts
  • 00:08:36.941 --> 00:08:38.209
  • Coming next year that's going to help.
  • 00:08:38.209 --> 00:08:39.911
  • The tariffs worked.
  • 00:08:39.911 --> 00:08:40.945
  • Everyone said the tariffs would be inflationary.
  • 00:08:40.945 --> 00:08:42.513
  • Instead, they generated tens of billions of dollars
  • 00:08:42.513 --> 00:08:44.882
  • For a treasury with no inflation.
  • 00:08:44.882 --> 00:08:46.451
  • Inflation's come down.
  • 00:08:46.451 --> 00:08:47.819
  • And we've even seen deflation and certain things like egg
  • 00:08:47.819 --> 00:08:50.922
  • Prices are down. things like that. that's terrific.
  • 00:08:50.922 --> 00:08:53.691
  • But overall in terms of the economy
  • 00:08:53.691 --> 00:08:55.727
  • We're seeing a huge levels of growth.
  • 00:08:55.727 --> 00:08:57.495
  • And a lot of it is related to deregulation.
  • 00:08:57.495 --> 00:09:00.431
  • But this word, the battle for the word affordability,
  • 00:09:00.431 --> 00:09:03.601
  • We need to make sure that we're
  • 00:09:03.601 --> 00:09:04.502
  • Framing it up, which is accurate.
  • 00:09:04.502 --> 00:09:06.371
  • Affordability crises were brought on by joe
  • 00:09:06.371 --> 00:09:08.506
  • Biden and the democrats
  • 00:09:08.506 --> 00:09:09.641
  • By their deficit spending, the biden inflation,
  • 00:09:09.641 --> 00:09:12.377
  • Their overregulation, the feeling to tap america's
  • 00:09:12.377 --> 00:09:16.781
  • Latent energy
  • 00:09:17.148 --> 00:09:17.982
  • That's underneath our, our earth.
  • 00:09:17.982 --> 00:09:21.119
  • Not getting that out into the out of the ground
  • 00:09:21.119 --> 00:09:23.721
  • And into people's cars, into their machinery
  • 00:09:23.721 --> 00:09:26.891
  • And allowing them to innovate with that.
  • 00:09:26.891 --> 00:09:28.926
  • It was a total disgrace
  • 00:09:28.926 --> 00:09:29.994
  • The way the biden administration handled energy.
  • 00:09:29.994 --> 00:09:32.063
  • And that's part of the reason why things are so unaffordable.
  • 00:09:32.063 --> 00:09:35.733
  • Well i like there's a lot more to talk about.
  • 00:09:35.733 --> 00:09:37.535
  • We need to take a short break.
  • 00:09:37.535 --> 00:09:39.037
  • Can you stay with us for another segment.
  • 00:09:39.037 --> 00:09:41.172
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:09:41.172 --> 00:09:42.340
  • Well in the meantime you can log on to aj now.com.
  • 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.209
  • Send me an email on the issues
  • 00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:46.811
  • That you want to know more about.
  • 00:09:46.811 --> 00:09:48.479
  • There's an easy tab at the top of the page.
  • 00:09:48.479 --> 00:09:50.948
  • So if you haven't done it before you'll find it really simple.
  • 00:09:50.948 --> 00:09:53.951
  • I'd like to hear from you. we'll be right back.
  • 00:09:53.951 --> 00:10:03.005
  • I'd like to hear from you. we'll be right back.
  • 00:10:03.005 --> 00:10:07.933
  • We're back now with alex marlow.
  • 00:10:08.567 --> 00:10:10.869
  • He's the editor
  • 00:10:10.869 --> 00:10:12.071
  • In chief of breitbart news and the author of many books,
  • 00:10:12.071 --> 00:10:14.840
  • Including his latest win, breaking the law
  • 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.676
  • Exposing the weaponization
  • 00:10:17.676 --> 00:10:19.244
  • Of america's legal system against donald trump.
  • 00:10:19.244 --> 00:10:22.281
  • Alex, when president trump is not having to respond
  • 00:10:23.315 --> 00:10:25.784
  • To the legal maneuvers
  • 00:10:25.784 --> 00:10:26.719
  • That certain democrats are putting his way,
  • 00:10:26.719 --> 00:10:28.921
  • He spends a lot of time on foreign policy issues.
  • 00:10:28.921 --> 00:10:31.757
  • Finding peace between israel
  • 00:10:31.757 --> 00:10:33.258
  • And iran's proxy terrorists is still taking time.
  • 00:10:33.258 --> 00:10:36.562
  • So the ongoing war in ukraine,
  • 00:10:36.562 --> 00:10:39.031
  • Well, it's obviously the right thing to do.
  • 00:10:39.031 --> 00:10:41.100
  • Does the president gain any political points with voters
  • 00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:44.069
  • When he's settling wars,
  • 00:10:44.069 --> 00:10:45.637
  • Taking out isis in nigeria or hamas in gaza?
  • 00:10:45.637 --> 00:10:49.541
  • I ask because it doesn't seem to show up in his overall
  • 00:10:49.541 --> 00:10:52.010
  • Popularity figures.
  • 00:10:52.010 --> 00:10:53.979
  • Yeah, i got the same answer as you.
  • 00:10:54.780 --> 00:10:55.981
  • That's it's hard to see it from the numbers.
  • 00:10:55.981 --> 00:10:58.150
  • I do think, though,
  • 00:10:58.150 --> 00:10:59.418
  • There is an imperative to do the right thing.
  • 00:10:59.418 --> 00:11:01.286
  • And i think the president
  • 00:11:01.286 --> 00:11:02.221
  • Likes having the brand that he starts.
  • 00:11:02.221 --> 00:11:04.256
  • No new wars that he ends, wars, that he's a peace president.
  • 00:11:04.256 --> 00:11:07.826
  • I think that his surprising decision to bomb sporadically,
  • 00:11:07.826 --> 00:11:12.064
  • Some of the bad guys, when he feels like he's
  • 00:11:12.064 --> 00:11:14.199
  • Got a clean shot,
  • 00:11:14.199 --> 00:11:15.300
  • He's been doing this since his first administration,
  • 00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.869
  • Seems to have always worked out very well.
  • 00:11:16.869 --> 00:11:19.171
  • And so i think his foreign policy
  • 00:11:19.171 --> 00:11:20.773
  • Is, generally speaking, an a plus.
  • 00:11:20.773 --> 00:11:22.441
  • I think the fact that there's even been a ceasefire in gaza
  • 00:11:22.441 --> 00:11:24.877
  • To negotiate a peace is in and of itself an accomplishment.
  • 00:11:24.877 --> 00:11:28.347
  • And the fact that we're closer to peace in the middle east
  • 00:11:28.347 --> 00:11:30.115
  • Than we've been in my whole lifetime
  • 00:11:30.115 --> 00:11:31.650
  • Is, again, an amazing accomplishment.
  • 00:11:31.650 --> 00:11:33.619
  • But overall, it doesn't feel like that's what wins elections.
  • 00:11:33.619 --> 00:11:36.255
  • It seems like what americans vote on
  • 00:11:36.255 --> 00:11:37.723
  • Mostly are pocketbook issues.
  • 00:11:37.723 --> 00:11:39.525
  • And despite all the winning on the foreign policy front,
  • 00:11:39.525 --> 00:11:42.361
  • He's got to make sure
  • 00:11:42.361 --> 00:11:43.495
  • Those pocketbook issues are front and center next year.
  • 00:11:43.495 --> 00:11:46.031
  • You know, i have this growing sense
  • 00:11:46.031 --> 00:11:48.667
  • Of agitation with the media and our political leaders.
  • 00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:51.870
  • You know, i kind of understand
  • 00:11:52.471 --> 00:11:53.539
  • Why they don't want to criticize their own.
  • 00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:55.541
  • But i've arrived at the conclusion
  • 00:11:55.541 --> 00:11:56.942
  • That if they are silent about the good
  • 00:11:56.942 --> 00:11:58.877
  • When it's taking place, that's evil.
  • 00:11:58.877 --> 00:12:01.980
  • And i'm just not tolerating longer of their unwillingness
  • 00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:04.449
  • To celebrate these things that are victories
  • 00:12:04.449 --> 00:12:06.418
  • For our nation and for the general public.
  • 00:12:06.418 --> 00:12:08.821
  • How do we change that?
  • 00:12:08.821 --> 00:12:10.589
  • It's hard to say, because
  • 00:12:11.156 --> 00:12:12.457
  • There's this cognitive dissonance
  • 00:12:12.457 --> 00:12:13.892
  • That a lot of people have that they've hated trump for so long.
  • 00:12:13.892 --> 00:12:17.196
  • They thought that the worldview that president trump
  • 00:12:17.196 --> 00:12:20.199
  • Has must be wrong at every turn.
  • 00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:22.201
  • It does seem like that.
  • 00:12:22.201 --> 00:12:23.402
  • That's the unifying vision of most of the powerful figures
  • 00:12:23.402 --> 00:12:25.838
  • On the american left right now,
  • 00:12:25.838 --> 00:12:27.372
  • Is that if trump does it, it must be inaccurate.
  • 00:12:27.372 --> 00:12:30.075
  • And that's the sort of thing that is very hard
  • 00:12:30.075 --> 00:12:32.811
  • To come back from that it's very hard for you
  • 00:12:32.811 --> 00:12:34.446
  • To look yourself in the mirror and admit that you're wrong,
  • 00:12:34.446 --> 00:12:37.282
  • That americans like bombing drug boats.
  • 00:12:37.282 --> 00:12:39.017
  • We like updating the white house and building a
  • 00:12:39.017 --> 00:12:40.853
  • Beautiful ballroom. we like law and order.
  • 00:12:40.853 --> 00:12:42.921
  • We like closing the border.
  • 00:12:42.921 --> 00:12:44.256
  • The border down from the bad guys.
  • 00:12:44.256 --> 00:12:46.525
  • We like busting fraudsters.
  • 00:12:46.525 --> 00:12:48.060
  • We like law and order in our streets.
  • 00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:49.528
  • And more and
  • 00:12:49.528 --> 00:12:51.129
  • More law enforcement deployed to keep americans safe.
  • 00:12:51.129 --> 00:12:53.365
  • People like that stuff
  • 00:12:53.365 --> 00:12:54.733
  • And people have been announcing that on the left
  • 00:12:54.733 --> 00:12:57.369
  • That they don't like it for years.
  • 00:12:57.369 --> 00:12:59.004
  • And that's going to be a lot for them
  • 00:12:59.004 --> 00:13:00.372
  • To get over it and admit they were wrong.
  • 00:13:00.372 --> 00:13:02.174
  • You know, i remember when barack obama was president
  • 00:13:03.208 --> 00:13:05.844
  • In his second term,
  • 00:13:05.844 --> 00:13:07.012
  • The less he did, the more his approval rating went up.
  • 00:13:07.012 --> 00:13:10.182
  • By contrast, president trump never sleeps.
  • 00:13:10.182 --> 00:13:12.551
  • Then he takes on nearly
  • 00:13:12.551 --> 00:13:13.485
  • Everything that comes across his desk.
  • 00:13:13.485 --> 00:13:15.721
  • Yet in getting so much done
  • 00:13:15.721 --> 00:13:16.989
  • In short order,
  • 00:13:16.989 --> 00:13:17.923
  • I wonder whether now he's expected to fix
  • 00:13:17.923 --> 00:13:19.758
  • Just about anything
  • 00:13:19.758 --> 00:13:20.559
  • And everything in no time at all,
  • 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.561
  • With little effect on his ratings.
  • 00:13:22.561 --> 00:13:24.596
  • What do you think?
  • 00:13:24.596 --> 00:13:25.964
  • We used to read a million stories
  • 00:13:25.964 --> 00:13:27.399
  • About how often obama was golfing.
  • 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.034
  • I had a reporter, charlie spearing, who loved
  • 00:13:29.034 --> 00:13:30.969
  • Writing these. when obama was president.
  • 00:13:30.969 --> 00:13:33.005
  • And i mean, i just got a kick out of them.
  • 00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:35.908
  • But i was always saying good golf every day.
  • 00:13:35.908 --> 00:13:38.277
  • Just stop governing. i just want you to do anything.
  • 00:13:38.277 --> 00:13:40.612
  • Please be on the golf course, because every time you go
  • 00:13:40.612 --> 00:13:42.781
  • To the white house, you're always ruining stuff.
  • 00:13:42.781 --> 00:13:44.783
  • So yes,
  • 00:13:44.783 --> 00:13:46.018
  • President trump is just he's such a frenetic ball of energy.
  • 00:13:46.018 --> 00:13:48.954
  • It's amazing.
  • 00:13:48.954 --> 00:13:49.788
  • It's a marvel to see it in person.
  • 00:13:49.788 --> 00:13:51.523
  • He's always thinking moves ahead.
  • 00:13:51.523 --> 00:13:54.059
  • And he he just really thrives when he's getting stuff done.
  • 00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.663
  • He's got a very proactive agenda.
  • 00:13:57.663 --> 00:13:59.731
  • This is the model
  • 00:13:59.731 --> 00:14:00.799
  • Not just for president, but i think it's the model
  • 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.267
  • For any leader in any organization.
  • 00:14:02.267 --> 00:14:04.569
  • It is infectious to watch.
  • 00:14:04.569 --> 00:14:06.471
  • He's changed how i think about my job
  • 00:14:06.471 --> 00:14:08.240
  • And what i do with my time.
  • 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.274
  • You called me into account.
  • 00:14:09.274 --> 00:14:11.476
  • Well, president trump does have his defenders in congress,
  • 00:14:11.476 --> 00:14:13.879
  • And he's asked more of them to help explain
  • 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.747
  • What's been done to fire up the economy.
  • 00:14:15.747 --> 00:14:18.150
  • Listen to congresswoman claudia tenney of new york, explain
  • 00:14:18.150 --> 00:14:20.953
  • Her view.
  • 00:14:20.953 --> 00:14:21.954
  • The only message
  • 00:14:22.354 --> 00:14:23.422
  • They have is, you know, it's the economy, stupid.
  • 00:14:23.422 --> 00:14:26.224
  • The old relic from bill clinton.
  • 00:14:26.224 --> 00:14:27.960
  • But the problem is the economy is doing really well.
  • 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.562
  • We saw growth as we see 4.3% inflation down.
  • 00:14:30.562 --> 00:14:34.933
  • The market is doing very well.
  • 00:14:34.933 --> 00:14:36.935
  • We're getting a record amount of money
  • 00:14:36.935 --> 00:14:38.837
  • Coming in from the tariffs
  • 00:14:38.837 --> 00:14:40.005
  • And other things that all you know
  • 00:14:40.005 --> 00:14:41.340
  • We're the doomsayers said we weren't going to do well.
  • 00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.909
  • So the democrats are going
  • 00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:45.110
  • To try to use this great economy and just be the naysayers.
  • 00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.214
  • You know, on top of all of that,
  • 00:14:49.848 --> 00:14:51.183
  • People who buy cars that are assembled in the us,
  • 00:14:51.183 --> 00:14:53.952
  • They're going to start
  • 00:14:53.952 --> 00:14:55.053
  • Getting a $7,500 tax break at the time of purchase.
  • 00:14:55.053 --> 00:14:58.924
  • There's a housing program being discussed
  • 00:14:58.924 --> 00:15:00.659
  • At the white house as well.
  • 00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:02.361
  • You know, i'm not sure what else
  • 00:15:02.361 --> 00:15:03.428
  • The president can do to make clear how hard he's
  • 00:15:03.428 --> 00:15:05.397
  • Working to make things good for everyone.
  • 00:15:05.397 --> 00:15:07.833
  • Do you think he'll start to get more credit
  • 00:15:07.833 --> 00:15:09.501
  • Once these things kick in a bit more?
  • 00:15:09.501 --> 00:15:12.137
  • I had the pleasure of sitting down with the treasury
  • 00:15:12.137 --> 00:15:14.172
  • Secretary, scott bass, in what's known as the cash
  • 00:15:14.172 --> 00:15:16.475
  • Room of the treasury a couple of weeks ago.
  • 00:15:16.475 --> 00:15:18.510
  • It's the full episodes up on my podcast for you two.
  • 00:15:18.510 --> 00:15:20.879
  • People are interested,
  • 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:21.880
  • And he thinks inflation is going to go close
  • 00:15:21.880 --> 00:15:23.682
  • To zero first half of next year.
  • 00:15:23.682 --> 00:15:25.350
  • Now that's a big back.
  • 00:15:25.350 --> 00:15:26.385
  • Hopefully that he can cash in those chips.
  • 00:15:26.385 --> 00:15:29.221
  • But if that's true and people see the gas prices are down
  • 00:15:29.221 --> 00:15:32.391
  • That regular, it's easier to get stuff going.
  • 00:15:32.391 --> 00:15:34.459
  • It's easier to innovate because regulation is down
  • 00:15:34.459 --> 00:15:36.862
  • And they see those growth numbers coming out.
  • 00:15:36.862 --> 00:15:39.064
  • Then it's going to be
  • 00:15:39.064 --> 00:15:40.365
  • A big effort by democrats to try to bomb
  • 00:15:40.365 --> 00:15:42.434
  • Everyone out and tell them things aren't working.
  • 00:15:42.434 --> 00:15:44.636
  • All the job growth
  • 00:15:44.636 --> 00:15:45.637
  • That we're seeing are for native born americans.
  • 00:15:45.637 --> 00:15:47.439
  • People who are here are people.
  • 00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.573
  • The lineage here, people of a heritage here, a history.
  • 00:15:48.573 --> 00:15:51.576
  • That's a beautiful thing that trump is doing.
  • 00:15:51.576 --> 00:15:53.245
  • He's fighting for the american people
  • 00:15:53.245 --> 00:15:54.980
  • And it's high time he deserves some credit.
  • 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.681
  • Well, alex marlow, thank you again for joining us.
  • 00:15:57.682 --> 00:16:00.519
  • His podcast is called the alex marlow show
  • 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.422
  • And you can see his other work on breitbart news.
  • 00:16:03.422 --> 00:16:06.258
  • Here's to another successful year, alex,
  • 00:16:06.258 --> 00:16:08.093
  • Including your new radio show.
  • 00:16:08.093 --> 00:16:09.795
  • Hope to see you soon.
  • 00:16:09.795 --> 00:16:11.430
  • Thanks, pastor. you will.
  • 00:16:11.430 --> 00:16:13.231
  • When we come back.
  • 00:16:13.231 --> 00:16:14.366
  • Hope for all for the year ahead.
  • 00:16:14.366 --> 00:16:23.007
  • Hope for all for the year ahead.
  • 00:16:23.007 --> 00:16:27.380
  • The evil
  • 00:16:27.647 --> 00:16:28.815
  • Is haunting the people of god on the earth these days.
  • 00:16:28.815 --> 00:16:31.384
  • I know we don't like to talk about it.
  • 00:16:31.384 --> 00:16:33.286
  • People will say, well, you shouldn't say that.
  • 00:16:33.286 --> 00:16:35.421
  • It's political.
  • 00:16:35.421 --> 00:16:37.156
  • No, it's not political.
  • 00:16:37.156 --> 00:16:38.324
  • It's just our reality.
  • 00:16:38.324 --> 00:16:40.159
  • Gunmen set up on a beach in australia
  • 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.196
  • Hunting jews at the beginning of hanukkah.
  • 00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:46.199
  • Some men went hunting.
  • 00:16:46.199 --> 00:16:47.467
  • Charlie kirk because he didn't like his biblical worldview.
  • 00:16:47.467 --> 00:16:51.170
  • In nigeria, our brothers, our christian brothers
  • 00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:53.973
  • And sisters
  • 00:16:53.973 --> 00:16:55.208
  • Will gather this weekend in the midst of brutal persecution
  • 00:16:55.208 --> 00:16:58.478
  • As they have courageously been doing over many years.
  • 00:16:58.478 --> 00:17:02.215
  • The difference is, now, at least they know
  • 00:17:02.215 --> 00:17:04.450
  • That the most powerful nation on earth
  • 00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:06.519
  • Hasn't turned a blind eye to their plight.
  • 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.122
  • With the recent attack against terrorists
  • 00:17:09.122 --> 00:17:10.857
  • In nigeria. america has displayed
  • 00:17:10.857 --> 00:17:13.493
  • A willingness to confront evil forces.
  • 00:17:13.493 --> 00:17:16.295
  • I'm grateful for the approach
  • 00:17:16.295 --> 00:17:17.497
  • Being taken by this administration.
  • 00:17:17.497 --> 00:17:19.532
  • They're not sitting passively by
  • 00:17:19.532 --> 00:17:21.200
  • While christians are brutally targeted.
  • 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.136
  • I've been reminded of winston churchill.
  • 00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:26.139
  • He was the prime
  • 00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:27.206
  • Minister of great britain during world war two.
  • 00:17:27.206 --> 00:17:29.809
  • He followed neville chamberlain
  • 00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:31.511
  • As the prime minister, neville chamberlain.
  • 00:17:31.511 --> 00:17:33.679
  • He was a feckless politician,
  • 00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:35.448
  • In my opinion, a coward of the first order.
  • 00:17:35.448 --> 00:17:38.151
  • Winston churchill was not that,
  • 00:17:38.151 --> 00:17:40.386
  • And he had some pretty remarkable quotes.
  • 00:17:40.386 --> 00:17:42.655
  • I'll share a couple.
  • 00:17:42.655 --> 00:17:44.023
  • He said that the price of greatness is responsibility.
  • 00:17:44.023 --> 00:17:47.660
  • And also he said, this is not the time for ease or comfort.
  • 00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:51.497
  • It is time to dare and endure.
  • 00:17:51.497 --> 00:17:54.600
  • Well, i'd like to use the comparison
  • 00:17:54.600 --> 00:17:56.169
  • Between chamberlain and churchill
  • 00:17:56.169 --> 00:17:58.070
  • For our own season, and submit to you that it's time for us
  • 00:17:58.070 --> 00:18:01.707
  • To make the move from appeasement to advocacy
  • 00:18:01.707 --> 00:18:04.443
  • For the truth.
  • 00:18:04.443 --> 00:18:05.511
  • What is passive and what is assertive?
  • 00:18:05.511 --> 00:18:08.514
  • I submit to you that the church predominantly has been passive
  • 00:18:08.514 --> 00:18:12.018
  • For far too long.
  • 00:18:12.018 --> 00:18:13.719
  • I believe you're going to have to follow
  • 00:18:13.719 --> 00:18:15.021
  • The counsel of the new testament and say no to ungodliness.
  • 00:18:15.021 --> 00:18:18.858
  • If we continue in our current path,
  • 00:18:18.858 --> 00:18:21.227
  • We will forfeit our place in the kingdom of god.
  • 00:18:21.227 --> 00:18:24.163
  • If the church lacks the courage
  • 00:18:24.163 --> 00:18:25.631
  • To tell the truth to our culture,
  • 00:18:25.631 --> 00:18:27.466
  • Then the one
  • 00:18:27.466 --> 00:18:28.634
  • Who has put us on assignment, you'll pull our license.
  • 00:18:28.634 --> 00:18:31.671
  • It's not optional.
  • 00:18:31.671 --> 00:18:33.439
  • I'm very grateful to say that there's an awakening
  • 00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:35.608
  • Taking place. there are good things ahead.
  • 00:18:35.608 --> 00:18:38.211
  • There are opportunities.
  • 00:18:38.211 --> 00:18:39.779
  • So let's have the courage to stand up
  • 00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:41.881
  • For our biblical values.
  • 00:18:41.881 --> 00:18:43.649
  • In that, i promise there are reasons for hope.
  • 00:18:43.649 --> 00:18:47.153
  • Stay with us. we'll be right back.
  • 00:18:47.153 --> 00:18:55.009
  • Stay with us. we'll be right back.
  • 00:18:55.009 --> 00:18:59.800
  • Your emails are always a highlight of the program.
  • 00:19:00.801 --> 00:19:02.869
  • Thank you for taking the time
  • 00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:04.071
  • To share your questions and your thoughts.
  • 00:19:04.071 --> 00:19:06.573
  • Jay barth from california inquired.
  • 00:19:06.573 --> 00:19:09.309
  • Pastor, i often hear you say the phrase biblical worldview.
  • 00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:12.446
  • I agree with you, but can you elaborate on that phrase?
  • 00:19:12.446 --> 00:19:14.848
  • I use it,
  • 00:19:14.848 --> 00:19:15.849
  • But i need to be able to elaborate
  • 00:19:15.849 --> 00:19:17.284
  • Better without stumbling over my words.
  • 00:19:17.284 --> 00:19:19.086
  • Thank you.
  • 00:19:19.086 --> 00:19:20.320
  • Yeah, i think i can.
  • 00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:21.521
  • Biblical worldview is not complicated.
  • 00:19:21.521 --> 00:19:23.257
  • It simply means we accept biblical principles, values
  • 00:19:23.257 --> 00:19:26.760
  • To be the filter through
  • 00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:27.828
  • Which we process life and make our decisions.
  • 00:19:27.828 --> 00:19:29.963
  • We accept the truth of scripture as the authority in our lives.
  • 00:19:29.963 --> 00:19:33.567
  • Now here's the awkward part.
  • 00:19:33.567 --> 00:19:35.035
  • We have a lot of people who call themselves christians,
  • 00:19:35.035 --> 00:19:36.803
  • But they haven't submitted
  • 00:19:36.803 --> 00:19:38.005
  • To the authority of scripture or the lordship of jesus.
  • 00:19:38.005 --> 00:19:40.307
  • So they don't live with a biblical worldview.
  • 00:19:40.307 --> 00:19:42.242
  • They make up their own rules,
  • 00:19:42.242 --> 00:19:43.410
  • And they say, this is what i think
  • 00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:45.312
  • Until we align our behavior with a biblical worldview.
  • 00:19:45.312 --> 00:19:48.682
  • We're going to face the judgment of god.
  • 00:19:48.682 --> 00:19:50.350
  • It's an important opportunity for all of us.
  • 00:19:50.350 --> 00:19:52.653
  • Well, i'm alan jackson.
  • 00:19:53.153 --> 00:19:54.221
  • Thank you for spending a few moments with us.
  • 00:19:54.221 --> 00:19:55.989
  • And i pray you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:19:55.989 --> 00:19:55.989
